Against Bridge land First
- Officer Hurt, in Hard Storm
' Off Coast Last Week.
, Captain and mate looking' a though
they had been in a' fight, and he re-
'en up tells the story of he gas
steamer Anvil' experience with a 75
mile gale off the Taqutne bay harbor
last week that showed the mettle of the
little packet " The Anvil arrived this
morning at 1 o'clock, after an absence
of over a month, during which time she
was either barbound or engaged in fruit
less attempt to enter some of --the
shoal harbors oh her route. '
During a fierce gale that struck the
little coaster Saturday morning Captain
Levi 8nyder ; was thrown violently on
the bridge and had both eyes blackened
and his nose skinned. 1 First Officer E.
J. Barnes also had his hand severely
hurt in scrambling along the deck. ;
The Anvil anchored off the Siuslaw
river : Friday afternoon awaiting , high
water to get into that port The weath
er looked fine, say the officers, but be
fore high water they had to heave the
anchor and put out to sea. At about 4
o'clock Saturday the full force of a
southeast gale hit the Anvil, and she
was occupied from . that time until 8
o'clock in getting her anchor to the cat
headIt required all the power of her
engines ahead to take up the slack on
the anchor chain. i-'VWfy;:-..
From there she ran for Taqulna bay
for shelter, but was unable to cross in
after she arrived there, so she remained
hove' to for six hour there until the
force of tho gale wa spent During her
experience ' in j the storm she had her
fore staysail carried away, that being
the only damage to the vessel.'
' On her late voyage down he coast
the Anvil left here December 4, going
from here ; to Bandon. - She then made
Marahfieid and took on supplies for the
Rogue River, Where they were almost
devoid of provisions. She was barbound "
there for 14 days, and then went back
to Bandon, from , which port she re
turned to Portland. Officer and crew
are loud in their praise of, the manner
in which the Anvil behaved in her worst
storm. -, v " ".
